How to cancel a Dropbox individual account free trial

Terms of the free trial

When you signed up for your free Dropbox trial, you received an email from no-reply@dropbox.com with the terms of the trial subscription, including the length of the trial. If you don’t see it in your inbox, check your spam folder. You can also find the terms of the trial on the billing page of your account settings.

If you cancel your free trial before it ends, you won’t be charged for the plan.


When you cancel a free trial:

• Your account will be changed to a free Dropbox Basic plan. If you signed up with a credit card, your account will be changed at the end of the trial period. If you signed up with PayPal, your account will be changed immediately.
• You’ll retain access to all your files and folders, as well as any content that was shared with you. 
• Your account will be limited to the 2 GB storage quota of Dropbox Basic. If you exceed that limit, your account will stop syncing to your devices.
• You’ll be able to recover deleted files and restore earlier versions of files for 30 days.

Check that your cancellation has been processed

When you cancel your Dropbox free trial, you’ll receive a confirmation email from no-reply@dropbox.com. If you don’t see it in your inbox, check your spam folder. You can also check the plan page of your account settings to confirm your plan has been changed to Basic.

If you were charged for a Dropbox subscription

If your free trial ended and you have been charged for a subscription, you can change to a free Dropbox Basic account by canceling your current subscription. Your account will be changed at the end of your billing cycle.

If you tried to cancel your trial before it ended but were charged for a subscription, check your support options for more help.

Solve issues with cancelling a free trial

What to know first

• Deleting or uninstalling the Dropbox app from your phone or computer doesn’t end your free trial or delete your account, it only removes the app.
• Canceling the free trial doesn’t remove the Dropbox app from your phone or computer, it only changes your account to a free Basic plan.
   

☑Check your next billing date
You can view your past and future billing dates on the billing page of your account settings at dropbox.com/account/billing.

☑Find your Dropbox account email
If you have a Dropbox charge on your billing statement, but you don’t remember which email account you signed up with, you can look up the charge using this transaction ID tool.

Refunds

In most cases, Dropbox doesn’t issue refunds. To avoid being charged in the future, cancel your current subscription and change to a free Basic account. If you think there’s been an error in billing, please check your support options for more help.
